We have choices in midfield, but for me Lowe is not one of them. Play him at fullback, or let him come in as a defensive midfielder once the team, is sitting on a lead. Go with Evans, Cairney, King and Marshall for starters.

How is Lowe and Evans a toss of a coin? Evans is far superior

Would like to see only one holding midfielder this year, 4-1-3-2 with cairney right in the middle.

I think that would be my chosen formation as well but I suspect that a lot of teams will come to Ewood and load the midfield to stop us playing, happened a few times last season, Yeovil, Sheff Weds for instance. Good sides start with a plan then flex to match the flow of the game, I am hoping we have the players to be able to do that now. If they do load the midfield then 3 - 5 - 1 - 1 becomes an option.

That's another reason to keep cairney in the middle he shows a natural creativity to unlock stubborn teams. We should try and develop our game a bit more this season and hopefully worry less about the opposition
